Peter Navarro is urging Trump administration members to avoid Fox News until it “mends its ways.”

President Trump’s senior trade advisor, Navarro, has been blasting the network since it parted ways with former Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and accused Fox News of becoming “unchained.”

“Fox has revealed itself to be essentially undermining the Trump administration.” Navarro said Wednesday on Steve Bannon’s “War Room.”

“FOX News is much more dangerous to MAGA, much more dangerous to the Republican Party because they wear our colors when they’re in fact helping the other side undermine the president.”

He also named top Trump administration officials he believes should avoid Fox until it “mends its ways.”

DR. PETER NAVARRO: I fully believe the White House should consider not putting Scott Bessent, Jamieson Greer, Marco Rubio, or anybody else on the Fox network until it mends its ways.

He also addressed the mainstream media boycott of President Trump coverage after he banned CNN and Politico from the White House “pool” coverage.

According to Navarro, Trump doesn’t need them and accused Fox of being part of the media “cartel.”

Fox is the balance wheel of the TV pool cartel. When it refused to take its turn, the whole blackout of the President stuck.

As one X user agreed, and put it: “The pool cartel has to end. We want a transparent feed, not what is curated by the Five Families.”
